Roses are red, my love
Do do do do
A long, long time ago
On graduation day
You handed me your book
I signed this way
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you
We dated through high school
And when the big day came
I wrote into your book
Next to my name
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
But not as sweet as you
(As sweet as you)
Then I went far away
And you found someone new
I read your letter, dear
And I wrote back to you
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
Sugar is sweet, my love
Good luck, may God bless you
(May God bless you)
Is that your little girl
She looks a lot like you
Someday some boy will write
In her book, too
Roses are red, my love
Violets are blue
